Chapter 226 World Mythology Chronicle
March 15, Rjukan, Norway.
The eighth round will start at 9:30 today. Early in the morning, the four members of the Weirdos Guild have already gathered in Chu Qimo's house.
After enjoying a meal cooked by Teacher Chu, they sat on the sofa. Only the alien kangaroo was still washing dishes in the kitchen, making "Crack!" and "Crack!" sounds from time to time, as if accusing some unscrupulous human.
At first Chu Qimo felt sorry for it, thinking that washing dishes was his job. But Anson Lu put his arm around his shoulders and said, "My kangaroo loves to work. Every gurgle he makes is an expression of his love and cheer for work."
"So that's how it is, President, I understand." Chu Qimo nodded and sat on the sofa with him.
The reason why Chu Qimo's home was chosen as the gathering point was very simple - before they woke up, Chu Qimo had already gotten up for a morning run and prepared breakfast.
For them, it is very convenient to come here and have a meal, which saves the trouble of using travel coupons to buy breakfast in big cities, so the meeting place should naturally be here.
Chu Qimo took off his apron and asked, "Is Julius not here yet?"
"That's what busy people are like, but he should come over as soon as he finishes dealing with things in Mexico." Anson Lu replied casually while watching the movie "Transcendence" on TV.
"Haha, here it comes?" Urushihara Ritsu used a spoon to stir the coffee powder into the hot water.
Most likely he saw Yuliu through the crow, so he said this.
With a "bang", the door was pushed open by a man wearing a black coat and with a stern temperament. Yuliu smoothed the snow on his hair and looked at Anson Lu with his sharp dark green eyes.
"I'm here, am I not late?" he asked.
"You're late long enough—" Anson Lu said in a long tone, "My suggestion is that you reflect on yourself. We agreed to gather here at nine o'clock, and it's already eleven o'clock now."
"I'm sorry, but we haven't entered the dungeon yet, right?"
"You have to enter the dungeon to come, right?" Anson Lu sighed, "Comrade Xiaomei, can you come earlier next time? Don't think that just because you are a mafia boss, everyone will give in to you."
Yuliu leaned against the wall with his arms folded, explaining expressionlessly:
"I had no choice. I just finished dealing with the issue over there. The Mafia formed a union. Although I'm not in the union, I still have to take charge of some affairs. Especially during the period before entering the dungeon, there are many things that need to be explained."
"I know, I know. Tell me in advance next time, or I'll think you're going to stand me up."
"So, our President Deer, how do you choose your copy?" Asuka Uesugi looked at him with contempt.
Anson Lu held up his chin, turned his head and looked around, "It depends on your opinions."
"You are the president." Yuliu responded coldly.
"The president must be a dictator, right?"
"I don't have any suggestions on the copy selection. I'll leave it to you to judge." Chu Qimo took out the sword bag from the cabinet, unzipped the chain and took out An Qiong, then wiped the sword with a towel.
"Okay."
"Lu Jun, I have said everything I need to say." Urushihara Ritsu picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee.
"Yes, yes, my crow-headed military advisor."
"It's still the old rules. Don't do anything weird! The other things don't matter." Asuka Uesugi frowned and tapped her arm with her fingers.
"Okay, okay, I know you're timid." Anson Lu played with his phone and said nonchalantly, "I won't do that this time. I'll go in and choose a dungeon, and then I'll invite you guys."
After finishing a game of Minesweeper, he looked away and looked at the Icelandic girl. "What about you, internet addict girl?"
"It doesn't matter." She whispered.
Yuri sat on the sofa, quietly playing the game "Disco Elysium" on Switch, her clear eyes staring at the screen intently. This was not a game that Anson Lu could understand, but she had been fascinated by it recently.
"Oh, that's all right," said Anson Deer.
[In ten minutes, we will enter the dungeon selection phase. Please be prepared. Players who are sleeping will be awakened, and players who are sick will receive a certain degree of treatment.]
Ten minutes was neither long nor short. The six people in Hell Lighthouse sat around the sofa, each doing their own thing.
Anson Lu was bored and sat on the sofa watching Yuri play games. Asuka Uesugi and Yuliu were watching a Hong Kong movie. Chu Qimo was holding his sword bag with his eyes closed, and Urushihara Ritsu was teasing the crow with snacks.
Soon it was time to enter the selection space.
[You are about to enter a different dimension. The number of copies you can currently choose is: 2. ]
A cold reminder sounded in his ears, and Anson Lu's eyes went dark. When he raised his eyelids again, he was already in that gray space.
Because he failed to achieve three consecutive MVP titles in the previous round of copies, he only had two copies to choose from in this round of selection.
Anson Lu didn't think much about it, he just reached out and touched the first gray copy panel.
With a "ding" sound, the panel suddenly became bright, as if a blue light rose in the middle, and the text and pictures gradually became clear.
【Copy 1】
[Dungeon Name: War of Iron and Blood]
[Instance type: cooperative challenge instance]
[Copy location: St. Petersburg, Russia]
[Instance limit: 100 people]
[Instance description: Hell is empty, the devil is on earth, blood and iron are splattered, people and gods are screaming, and broken limbs are also glorious. ]
[Instance Difficulty: 3.5 Stars]
[Dungeon time limit: 7 days]
[Suitable for player levels: 28 to 30]
[The cost of copy failure: St. Petersburg fell, and citizens were lost in a different space. ]
[Note: You cannot leave the city during the dungeon.]
[In your friend list, there are currently 0 friends who have selected this copy. ]
"What the hell, it's so confusing..." Anson Lu was stunned. He looked left and right but couldn't understand the meaning of the copy introduction. He just knew that this might be a war related to gods and demons.
A cooperative challenge dungeon? What on earth are we fighting for? Gods and humans teaming up to fight demons?
Forget it, let’s see what the next copy is.
Anson Deer sighed softly and reached out to touch another copy panel.
The panel also lit up, and as the red light rose, the images and text appeared clearly in his eyes.
The preview of the "Chronicles of World Mythology" copy is simply dazzling.
At one point they were all Chinese mythological figures - "Sun Wukong", "Nezha", "White Dragon Horse" and "Pigsy" from Journey to the West, and in the blink of an eye they had jumped to "Zeus", "Diomedes" and "Chiron" from Greek mythology, followed by the ancient gods from Norse mythology - "Odin", and the twelve main gods of Olympus, and even Japanese mythology was not spared - the evil god "Yamata no Orochi", the hero "Susanoo", the father god "Izanagi", the mother goddess "Izanami" and other characters all made their appearances.
When Anson Lu was a child, he was bored and read the entire set of mythology in a bookstore.
Not to mention Greek, European and American mythology, he even read the ancient Egyptian mythology, so he had a deep impression of these famous mythological figures.
"Oh, it seems this copy is quite interesting." He raised his eyebrows and became interested.
The preview finally froze on a thick book. On the cover of the book were written seven large characters "Chronicle of World Mythology" in an ancient language. The player had built-in translation skills, so Anson Lu understood it.
He turned his eyes away from the static preview screen and looked at the text introduction on the panel.
【Copy 2】
[Instance Name: World Mythology Chronicle]
[Instance type: cooperative challenge instance]
[Instance locations: Beijing, China, London, England, Tokyo, Japan, Paris, France...]
[Limit number of people in the copy: 10]
[Instance Introduction: The Mythology Class has started a new semester and has recruited new students with great potential from all over the world. Please follow the steps of the Mythology Professor and explore the strange and fantastic world myths together. Then break through the layers of foggy illusions, find the location of the awakened myth carriers, and help the local people get rid of the disasters caused by them.]
[Instance Difficulty: ? ? ? (Unknown Star Rating)]
[Dungeon time limit: 7 days]
[Suitable for players level: 30 and above. 】
[Cost of copy failure: Determined according to the selected "Mythology System".]
[Note 1: As long as the player clears this round of dungeons, they will have a chance to obtain a unique item - "Myth Sequence".]
[Note 2: Mythology carrier means a puppet carrier that possesses the power of a specific mythological figure.]
[In your friend list, there are currently 0 friends who have selected this copy. ]
"Why are there so many capital cities in this instance..." Anson Lu's head swelled. "It's getting more and more ridiculous the more I look at it. This is another confusing instance."
First of all, you have to know that the difficulty of each capital-level copy is as high as the sky, and the "World Mythology Chronicle" copy in front of you covers multiple capitals at once.
This was a situation that Anson Lu had never expected. He didn't understand how this copy was made up.
Could it be that the difficulty of several capital-level dungeons was superimposed? Or was it linked with other dungeons? Anson Lu had some guesses in his mind.
Unfortunately, his super intuition could not give him the answer, so he could only go to the copy himself to find out.
Anson Lu took a screenshot of what he saw and sent it to the union channel. The other five members of the union were waiting for him, so they could see the information first.
As expected, the fire penguin, who was not good at thinking, made the first exclamation.
[Uesugi Asuka: Are you kidding me? So many capitals?]
[Chu Qimo: President, did you photoshop the picture? ]
When Anson Lu saw this message, he could imagine Teacher Chu's serious expression behind the screen.
He curled his lips and typed out an explanation.
[Anson Deer: Crooked? This is a screenshot from the game system, not taken with a phone. How can I photoshop it?]
[Chu Qimo: I'm sorry, President. I wronged you.]
[Anson Deer: It doesn't matter. I'll forgive you if you go back and ask Kangaroo to wash two more bowls.]
After sending the message, Anson Lu just sat cross-legged there, quietly waiting for his Crow-headed Military Advisor to speak.
Generally speaking, in such situations, apart from him, the person whose say counts the most in the union is Ritsu Urushihara.
After a while, the crow finally sent a message.
[Ritsuhara: Lu-kun, I think this dungeon is very interesting. Why don’t we choose this dungeon? ]
Yuliu's message was very synchronized with Crow's, and they both sent it out at almost the same time.
[Yuliu: I think... After all, it's a rare opportunity for our guild members to get together, so it would be a waste if we don't choose a challenging dungeon.]
[Uesugi Asuka: That seems to be true. If six sequence players suddenly appear in an ordinary cooperative challenge dungeon, can they kill the boss instantly? ]
[Anson Deer: You just found out about this? You are indeed the brain of our Fire Penguin. ]
[Anson Lu: The law enforcement team has divided the sequence players into teams to go to dungeons, in order to reduce the number of deaths of ordinary players. If the elite players gather in one dungeon, what will happen to the other dungeons? ]
[Uesugi Asuka: Yes, yes, yes, our President Deer knows a lot. ]
【Chu Qimo: Miss Yu Rui, she has not expressed any opinion. 】
Anson Lu chose to stop and watched them discuss quietly, not bothering to say a word.
【Yuri: I don’t care. I’ll just watch you guys.】
[Anson Deer: Okay, then I'll choose this instance. I hope you won't cry and scream when you get beaten.]
[Yuliu: You, as the guild leader, have no backbone at all.]
[Anson Lu: Haha, you are spineless. No one wants me to take the blame, right? ]
Anson Lu turned off the panel, raised his eyes, and reached out to press the so-called "World Mythology Chronicle" copy.
Although the copy introduction is also confusing, this copy looks much more interesting, and Anson Lu is very interested in the setting of "Myth Sequence", so he might get unexpected gains in the copy.
"That's you. It seems like this copy is indeed not to be missed."
Anson Deer muttered as he watched the panel gradually light up.
[It is detected that there is one permission left to invite guild members this month (March). Do you want to use this permission in this copy? ]
[Permissions cannot be accumulated. There is only one chance each month. If you do not use it in this round of copies, it will be automatically cleared at the beginning of the next month.]
"Use it." Anson Lu said lightly.
[Permissions have been used. The next invitation permission will be obtained in April. Guild members have been invited: Yuri, Chu Qimo, Uesugi Asuka, Yuliu Mena, and Urushihara Ritsu. ]
[Waiting for members’ response…]
[All members of the guild have accepted the dungeon invitation. We have detected that you are a 6-person team. We need 4 more players to complete the dungeon. We are matching with another guild team.]
[The match has been completed, and the names of the other four teammates have been obtained - Xiong Haodong, Iwata Minoru, Adel, and Maruyama Jun. ]
"Damn, Brother Dong?" Anson Lu was really shocked this time.
This is the eighth round of the dungeon, and Brother Dong is still alive. This can be listed as one of the seven wonders of the world. It is amazing.
[You will now enter the dungeon. I wish you a happy game. 】
